That’s an easy one surely? They normally all go for the “ special “ colors regardless of if they like it or not. Or the ones that all over YouTube.

iPhone 13 Pro Went back to android

It should be easy but that question always pops up. Then there are the “exchanging for a different color” threads
But you can activate onscreen buttons, yes? Like I’ve done with my (work) Pixel. No annoying swiping, it’s great…
I switch back and forth. I have had 7 Android phones and four iPhones. My last two phones have iPhones though and I currently have a regular 13, previously had an 11.
I honestly believe Android is the far superior OS but I simply got to the point where I was bored with it an needed a change. Have been happy with my 11 and now 13, it gets the job done and does the basics well. I have no clue how long I will stay with an iPhone because I know eventually I will get bored with it too. The one thing I love about IOS is the look of it: it feels/looks “happy” and warm and very welcoming while Android can look very industrial and sterile although it seems like Google has taken big steps in that area with the newest version of Android.
The ultimate thing to me about Android is the on screen 3 button Navigation bar. NOTHING is better for phone navigation IMO. It’s perfection. Navigation Physical buttons and gestures are just so inefficient.

I’ve never quite understood these announcement threads. That said, best wishes OP. That’s the beauty in choice……options benefit the consumer. Enjoy whatever makes you the happiest.
I can from android, I switch all time. But what’s the point of this post?
I'm in blissful ignorance. I've never had an Android phone. I started with Apple on the iPhone 4s, and never looked back. Since then, I've had various models and am now on the 11Pro. Not yet decided if I'll get the 13, or wait for the 14.
For me, as mentioned, I have no experience of Android, so cannot possible compare the two. I enjoy various aspects of the apple eco-system however, using HomeKit, HomePod, iPad and iPhone etc. It all works for me. But the clincher...? Privacy.
I've never seen (and please correct me if I'm wrong) any advert from Google about privacy being "built-in".
There are downsides to privacy, and a price to pay. For example, many people couldn't understand why Apple didn't offer the "swipe" keyboard (I'm not a fan of it anyway), but I recognise that by denying developers access to tamper with the keyboard, they're maintaining control over what happens on the device, therefore helping to ensure that all important (to me) privacy and security.
For the OP - good for you. I hope you get everything you want from Android.

The swipe keyboard has been on iOS for a bit, there used to be a prompt wether or not you’d like to share data with the developers.
Says the guy who informed us he traded in his Samsung for an iPhone...
If you are using an iPhone that has a physical home button, you would press the home button and that would take you to the home screen. On iPhones without a physical home button, you would swipe from the bottom of the screen to the top of the screen to go to the home screen. iOS and Android share some of the same gestures like close an app, kill off an app, switch between apps.
Tap on the menu bar that is displaying the website web address. That will either be at the top or bottom of the screen depending on where the Safari tab bar has been configured to be displayed in Settings.
Sir/Ma'am
It's things that most people have no idea Iphones can do because Apple doesn't mention it.
What‘s a ‘special colour’? The new one? Personally I go for the colour I like best. This year that happened to be the sierra blue, which is coincidentally the new colour. Not bothered if people wanna judge me for it.
Don’t worry I approve of your color choice on this occasion.
Special color, not to be confused dot com with the special one. Glad he buggered off. 🤣
Here’s the attention you ordered with that post…
Imagine whining about someone's personal decision to share their personal decision on a site that allows the discussion of personal decision discussions.
Hello new here switching to iPhone after not owning one since the 3GS just got iPad Mini as well. iPhone 13 Pro will be my 70th phone lol I have had the first ever android phone and first Samsung galaxy s along with many others also had most Windows Phone which is still my favourite mobile os but iPhone widgets are the closest to WP so far
Frequently I run into apps that will crash on launch Or just fail to open. This is almost always due to lack of available RAM.
Spectrum TV
Heckfire
Lightroom
Readdle. Large pdf
If I clear couple from the app manager, they will then open. That leads me to believe that the RAM Manager is not performing to par.

Enjoy your Android!
I get a headache trying to use my boyfriends Droid, seems so counterintuitive and clunky.

One thing I didn't like was the large camera bumps and the weight to boot. I came from the 12 mini I might get the 13 mini in a few weeks.
